ONAR LUXURIES

Eight-building cluster of Cycladic apartments on Psaron street, ONAR Luxuries climbs the whitewashed slope of Ano Syros above Ermoupoli's harbor, where the medieval hilltop settlement gives way below to the neoclassical port town — a fit for couples and self-catering travellers who want kitchen independence over hotel service.

Each unit keeps a private entrance, kitchenette with oven and stovetop, and marble floors underfoot; soundproofing matters here given the narrow stone lanes outside.

The Catholic and Orthodox cathedrals crowning Ano Syros are a short walk uphill, while the working port and ferry terminal sit fifteen minutes down toward Ermoupoli.
